Lucid Alpha 3 released

Welcome to Lucid Lynx Alpha 3, which will in time become Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

Pre-releases of Lucid are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable
system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even
frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and
those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs.

NOTE: if you installed Lucid prior to Alpha 3, you may have libmysqlclient16
7.0.9-1 installed. This package was present in the Ubuntu archive by mistake
and was retracted, but because it has a later version number than the real
libmysqlclient16 package, the real package will not be installed
automatically on upgrade. To ensure that you have the official package
installed on your Lucid system and will receive security support for it
throughout Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, please run:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient16/lucid

and follow the instructions.

This is quite an early set of images, so you should expect some bugs. For a
list of known bugs (that you don’t need to report if you encounter), please
see:

We also suggest that you subscribe to the ubuntu-devel-announce list
if you’re interested in following Ubuntu development. This is a
low-traffic list (a few posts a week) carrying announcements of
approved specifications, policy changes, alpha releases, and other
interesting events.
